Learning music in the street, a gift for children in a Caracas slum

Caracas, Jun 29 (EFE), (Camera: Ivan Cardenas).- The horns, the screams, the sound of motorcycles, the creaking of Caracas, everything is turned off when some 18 children take their instruments and play, in unison, the notes of the popular salsa piece "Mi desengaño". Maestro Juan Manuel leads his street symphony to bring joy in the form of musical notes to a neighborhood in the center of the Venezuelan capital. Without a venue, using the street as a hall, logs and cans as seats, poles and trees as music stands and neighbors humming enthusiastically as inspiration, maestro Juan Manuel Mejías has been promoting music and teaching the children of Caracas that art can emerge from everywhere for almost three years.
